Common issues in violent crime cases

In many violent crime investigations, the police assume an existing relationship between the assailant and the victim. At the very least, they often proceed on the assumption that the two parties know one another. So in many cases, police and prosecutors focus their investigations almost solely on family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances of the victim. Sometimes extremely circumstantial evidence comes into play. This, coupled with the pressure that can be placed on police to keep violent criminals off the streets, can lead to false accusations, arrests and poorly investigated leads.

Anyone facing violent crime charges must remember not to talk to the police or the victim without an attorney present. Nothing good can come of doing so and anything you say will almost certainly come back to haunt you during an investigation or a trial.

At DuBoff & Associates, Chartered, we understand how holes in the case of the prosecution can be identified and exploited during a criminal trial. We are skilled attorneys and investigators with experience uncovering false statements against our clients or contradictory evidence in the cases against them.
